During first half of the 20th century, the regulation of land use and development evolved from the basic property law concepts of nuisance and trespass into more complicated regulatory structures promulgated by cities and counties through traditional zoning mechanisms. The post-war years saw a rapid acceleration of this evolution as populations swelled in previously non-urban areas, leading to more flexible planned development zoning mechanisms, growth management tools and active voter involvement in planning decisions. Today, land use decisions are made by a broad array of local, regional, state and federal authorities with overlapping jurisdiction and sometimes contradictory mandates. This course will explore these regulatory regimes with a focus on current land use disputes and issues, including the mediating function of environmental review statutes; citizen participation through lawsuits, initiatives and referenda; governmental and private responses to global climate change; water supply requirements; and the impact of federal environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.
